Never Left Enough

March 9th, 2010 – 9:16 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

By any objective measure, President Obama is extremely liberal.  He’s about as far left as any mainstream politician can be.  He has single handedly moved the middle several notches to the left, shaking the foundations of both major political parties.
You would think that radical liberal groups would be as happy as donkeys in DC, but [...]

The State of the Union Speech

February 3rd, 2010 – 11:16 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

In case you missed the President’s State of the Union address, it was a masterpiece of political speech.  The speech was neatly divided into three parts, which can be nicely summarized as follows:
Part 1 - I’m a fiscal conservative.
The President opened his speech by staking out a position that normally would be held by a Ronald Regan conservative: cut [...]

Feel the Pain

January 6th, 2010 – 10:14 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Remember when President Bill Clinton famously told us, “I feel your pain”?  It was a deceptively simple, yet powerful, statement to show his empathy with the working man and our plight in tough economic time.  With just four words, President Clinton effectively communicated the heart of the time-tested Democratic message that more recently has won [...]

The Back to School Speech

September 14th, 2009 – 7:55 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

The political uproar of the week was a furor over President Obama’s back to school speech to the kiddies.  The President said he’d like to give a little talk to the kids as they start the school year.  Turns out, some people from the right side of the aisle don’t trust the Wise and Exalted Ruler [...]

The Ex Green Czar

September 10th, 2009 – 5:07 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Van Jones is now officially the “Ex-Green Czar” of the United States of America. Jones resigned today in what may be the snippiest and most ungracious resignation speech ever given.
The White House says that Jones was going to “get in the way” of Benevolent Ruler Obama’s plans. Jones says that he was the [...]

The Birth Certificate

July 21st, 2009 – 7:30 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Apparently, my  “What If?” scenario a few weeks back has perked up a few ears. It turns out that it isn’t just the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) who believe that there may be something to the “Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as [...]

What If?

July 7th, 2009 – 9:41 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

This week, just for fun, let us consider a “What If?” scenario. What if the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) are right about President Obama’s birth certificate? I know, I know. These are the same tinfoil hat wearers who argue that the moon landing was faked and the government is holding [...]

Taking Offense

June 2nd, 2009 – 10:20 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

I’m offended. Actually offended. I’m not the easily-offended type. I don’t think I’m even the regular-offended type. It takes a lot to truly offend me. I may not agree with you. I may not like what you say. But to find something at which I actually take offense [...]

Me & the Prez vs the ACLU

May 19th, 2009 – 10:03 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

I am unaccustomed to agreeing with our current president. Not because I’m a partisan or a bigot or an obstructionist. I just find that we disagree on virtually everything, from smoking (he does, I don’t) to abortion (he wants to make it even more widely available, I don’t) to the division of powers [...]

Fly Over Fallout

May 12th, 2009 – 9:05 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Remember the Air Force One fly over of New York City that caused such a ruckus a few weeks back? Well, don”t hold your breath waiting for those stunning photos of Air Force One against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty to be released any time soon. The Publicist in Chief has [...]
